US to send ‘more weapons' to Ukraine: Trump
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said Monday the United States will send additional weapons to Ukraine, after the White House announced a halt to some arms shipments for Kyiv the previous week. 'We're going to have to send more weapons — defensive weapons primarily,' Trump told journalists at the White House. 'They're getting hit very, very hard,' he said of Ukraine, while saying he is 'not happy' with President Vladimir Putin. Putin launched the full-scale invasion of Russia's smaller neighbor in 2022 and has shown little willingness to end the conflict despite pressure from Trump. Ukraine is contending with some of Russia's largest missile and drone attacks of the three-year war, and a halt to the provision of munitions posed a potentially serious challenge for Kyiv. Under former president Joe Biden, Washington committed to providing more than $65 billion in military assistance to Ukraine. But Trump — long skeptical of assistance for Ukraine — has not followed suit, announcing no new military aid packages for Kyiv since he took office in January of this year.

National Guard Troops Protect Immigration Officers in Large-Scale LA Operation
About 90 members of the California National Guard and over a dozen military vehicles, like Humvees, are helping protect immigration officers as they carry out a raid in a Los Angeles park, defense officials said. The operation in MacArthur Park, which is in a neighborhood with a large immigrant population about 2 miles west of downtown LA, includes 17 Humvees, four tactical vehicles, two ambulances, and the armed soldiers. It comes after President Donald Trump deployed thousands of Guard members and active-duty Marines to the city last month following protests over previous immigration raids. Trump has stepped up efforts to realize his campaign pledge of deporting millions of immigrants in the US illegally and shown a willingness to use the nation's military might in ways other US presidents have typically avoided. The officials told reporters that it was not a military operation but acknowledged that the size and scope of the Guard's participation could make it look like one to the public. That is why the officials spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details about the raid that were not announced publicly. 'It's just going to be more overt and larger than we usually participate in,' one of the officials said. 'The primary role of the service members would be to protect the immigration enforcement officers in case a hostile crowd gathered,' that official said. 'They are not participating in any law enforcement activities, such as arrests, but service members can temporarily detain citizens if necessary before handing them over to law enforcement,' the official said. The operation is occurring at a park in a neighborhood with large Mexican, Central American, and other immigrant populations and is lined by businesses with signs in Spanish and other languages that has been dubbed by local officials as the 'Ellis Island of the West Coast.' Sprawling MacArthur Park has a murky lake ringed by palm trees, an amphitheater that hosts summer concerts, and sports fields where immigrant families line up to play soccer in the evenings and on weekends. Authorities routinely clear encampments, and medical outreach teams tend to unhoused residents. The officials said the officers enforcing immigration laws were planning to wear a dark blue top to differentiate them from troops. The officers would still be wearing camouflage pants. More than 4,000 California National Guard and hundreds of US Marines have been deployed in Los Angeles since June–against the wishes of California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Last week the military announced about 200 of those troops would be returned to their units to fight wildfires.

Ukraine says it struck chemical plant in Moscow region
Ukraine's military said on Monday it had struck a chemical plant in Russia's Moscow region that manufactures explosives, ammunition and thermobaric warheads for Shahed attack drones. 'A series of explosions were recorded in the area of the city of Krasnozavodsk and the movement of fire trucks in neighboring settlements,' Kyiv's General Staff said in a statement on the Telegram messaging site, adding that the final results of the strike were still being clarified. Reuters could not independently verify the report.
